As the Python Rises, so does Solangelo

Part 22

Will POV:

I came in the Apollo cabin and my sister was drawing. "What's that?" I ask. She doesn't respond. Sometimes she does this. She has a vision with so much detail of something she draws it. She finishes and looks at me. "Don't go in the woods tonight, or that'll be what you see," she says darkly. I remember about me being the price, "Why would you warn me? Now that means I'll be attracted to it!" I say. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "This is the Pythons assistant, it's going to-" I clamp my hand over her mouth, thus, cutting her off. "I don't want to know, the less I know the better," I say. She nods and I take my hand away from her mouth. She hugs me tight, "I love you Will, I'll make sure Nico still functions when you're, you know, gone," she whispers. She pulls back and it feels like were 8 and 11 again. She's my little sister, and she's taken so much responsibility. The sun is starting to set, "I have to help father close the day," she says. I nod and she walks out. Stretching her wings, she flies, flies above the cabins and the lake, the woods, collecting the sunlight, adding color to the sky. She lands on the steps gently. She breaths and is staring blankly at the door. Off in the future her mind is. She starts blinking and moving her eyes, she gasps for air. Her visions sometimes stops her breathing momentarily. She looks at me as the sun goes down and the moon comes out. It's almost time.

Connor POV:

I saw her flying around helping Apollo close the day. Running back to the Hermes cabin I see Travis. Katie's by him. He sees me and says,
"dude, where have you been all day?!?"
I shrug, "Places, Travis, Places,"
he pouts. "C'mon bro! Tell me!"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"GODS DAMNIT TRAVIS! I SAID NO!" I yelled.
Travis mocked looking hurt. Then grinned, "I'll make you talk," he said, taking Katie's hand as they walked to the camp store, since Kaite has part time jobs there. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw her. I can't believe out of everyone, I fell hard for the daughter of Apollo. APOLLO! She's so..... Truthful. An opposite. It's no secret that while the Aphrodite girls are hot, Apollos girls are usually beautiful. They don't wear makeup like the Aphrodite kids, or wear hooker clothes, (not that all Aphrodite kids do that.) they're just naturally pretty. Some of them know it too but they don't say anything. If you can get an Apollo girl, consider yourself lucky. They're hard to get. Aphrodite girls are easy because they need a heart to break, which is another difference. While Aphrodite girls date to break, Apollo girls date for love. If you break an Apollo girls heart, you will wake up to breakup songs they wrote and the brothers get on your case. A lot of guys think the risk is worth it, I didn't. I tried to stay away from pretty Apollo girls, plus they don't like Hermes boys. Liars and thieves, they said. I have no idea why Evaya chose me. After all, I'm not anything special. Not crazy powerful, or very truthful. I still don't understand why my father warned me to beware the daughter of Apollo, the sunlight conductor. Maybe he has a bet going with Apollo or something. I walk into the Hermes cabin and my siblings give me a look. They also want to know where I've been. "Alright, what did you guys bet?" I ask as Travis walks in. They tell me. Some say I was out with a girl, others say doing a prank, and another was getting pranking supplies. The most popular was getting prank supplies, then out with a girl, then doing a prank. I smiled, "Everyone who bet out with a girl, is right," the ones who bet that cheered and divided up the money. Travis gave me smirk, "so who's the unlucky girl?" He asks. "HEY!" I shout. "I'm kidding," he laughs, "but seriously who?" He adds more seriously. I smiled, "still not telling you,".
"But I told when I liked Katie!" He argued. I thought this over. "Fair enough, I'll tell you tomorrow," he sighed but agreed. (After making me swear it on the River Styx!)
